[Bug 587945] [NEW] Firefox shows some or all images as black rectangles [Lucid]

[jeffbronks]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Ubuntu release: 10.04
Firefox release: 3.6.3

What I expected to happen: images displayed correctly in web pages

What happened instead: some or all images on some web pages displayed
either as (a) a black rectangle, or (b) a black rectangle with a random
rectangular area of the original image showing in a random place.  In
case (b), it is sometimes possible to see the whole image by dragging
the visible, cropped part around the screen and then releasing it.

Other information: It may be relevant that my system has an Intel 845G
graphics chipset, which is not well supported by Ubuntu. However, no
other applications have a problem displaying JPEGs.  GIMP, Nautilus,
default image viewer are all OK.

Example of a web page showing the problem: http://workhorsetractors.com/

Example of a web page NOT showing the problem:

Running Firefox in safe mode (firefox -safe-mode) makes no difference.

There are some reports for older versions of Firefox that zooming the
window in and out can cause a similar effect.  However, this is not the
same bug.  This bug occurs at a zoom factor of 100%.
